FamilySearch Indexing Spanish Projects

It's been a busy week, and I plan on writing a short summary of my Nuevos Recursos del Internet online course I taught via FamilyHistoryLiveOnline, but there is a more immediate need right now...

As many of you know I work for FamilySearch. One of my responsibilities is to initiate indexing projects for Spain, Portugal, and South America. To make a long story short we are about to launch two indexing projects for Spain, but before we do it we need 6-12 volunteers to help us test the project.

The main responsibilities of the testers will be:

Log onto FamilySearch Indexing with a special account and do a some batches

Give feedback FamilySearch Indexing on your likes and dislikes (poor grammar in the instructions, more detailed instructions, questions about the fields being indexed, etc.)

No time commitment is necessary, however, we would like help from those that are willing to dedicate some time and provide good feedback so we can make the changes.

The testing period will last for about 1 week or so, then we will go through the feedback, and make any necessary changes. After the changes have been made the project will be available for the general public to work on. You can reach me via email at: lynnturner428@gmail.com if you are interested in helping
